Beck Brings Good Vibes

in
By David Leyes (CHARTattack) October 6, 2008 5:06 pm
I've seen Beck at least five times now, and his appearance at the Sound Academy on Sunday might be my last chance to see him... though I hope not. Openers MGMT were received enthusiastically. The band seemed to be very stoned or didn't really care if there was anyone in front of them. Never having heard them before, even I could tell they were...

Beck — Modern Guilt

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) July 8, 2008 10:13 am
It's been three albums since the old Beck disappeared and the new, no-personality Beck we've all come to know and scratch our heads at arrived. The last time we actually heard Beck — the shape-shifting, risk-taking Beck — was Sea Change. Play that album back-to-back with Modern Guilt and you'll be shocked to hear how much soul his voice has lost...

Time For Beck To Think Small

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) October 18, 2006 4:30 pm
If the attendance at Beck's Monday night show at Ricoh Coliseum was any indication, alternative rock's former golden boy is headed in the same direction as the genre itself. The seating areas in the Ricoh were sparsely filled throughout much of the room, and there was even plenty of space to breathe on the floor. It's time Beck admitted he should...

Beck — The Information

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) October 3, 2006 11:22 am
Most people's first instinct will be to call Beck's latest opus Guero II, but the more you listen to it, the less you'll agree with that assessment. More apt would be to call it an electronic B-side to Mutations, one of Beck's two previous collaborations with Nigel Godrich, who is back in the production booth here. On The Information, Beck preys...

Beck — Guerolito

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) January 3, 2006 3:50 pm
On Guerolito, Beck's Guero is completely reimagined by a diverse collection of artists who produce a little something for everyone. Of course, that means it's not much of a conducive listen, but if you're making a mix CD for the Beck fan in your life, one or two of these tracks will do the trick. Particularly, Islands' instrumental reconstruction...

Beck — Guero

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) March 28, 2005 2:54 pm
You have to give Beck a lot of credit. With his fans and detractors convinced he was through following the meandering Sea Change, the electronic folkster proves everyone wrong with a complete about-face. Beck, like so many of today's bigger music acts, goes back to his roots on Guero — Dust Brothers production, noisy guitars and hip-hop. But...

Grandaddy — Below The Radio

in
By Steve English (CHARTattack) November 9, 2004 3:02 pm
Anyone familiar with the work of Jason Lytle, he of pastoral indie types Grandaddy, shouldn’t be surprised that his handpicked mixtapes are short on Pantera or Master P and long on like-minded slow-rollers like Giant Sand and Beulah. These 14 selections (plus one new Grandaddy tune) have the warm, enveloping comfortableness of a favourite sweater...

Conan O'Brien ended his run on The Tonight Show on Friday (Jan. 22) in style and spent a good deal of it thumbing his nose at NBC. Neil Young was O'Brien's final musical guest on the show, performing "Long May You Run" unaccompanied in what might be a thinly veiled raspberry blown at NBC.
